The driver of a Toulouse-Lyon TGV forgets to stop in Nîmes!

The driver of a TGV connecting Toulouse to Lyon missed the stop at Nîmes Pont-du-Gard station. “We saw the station pass, we knew we had to stop, he stopped a little further. We waited on the tracks. We told ourselves that if he stopped, there must be an error. Finally we heard the announcement from the flight attendant who explained to us that the Nîmes station had been missed by the driver“, said on Thursday Theo, a passenger on the train, to our colleagues from France Bleu Gard Lozère.

The TGV finally reversed, causing a delay of 40 minutes in Nîmes and 30 minutes on arrival in Lyon. It was also explained on the radio that stopping at the Nîmes Pont-du-Gard station was not always obvious due to the lack of a brake reference point. One thing is certain: the passengers are not ready to forget this incident.
